ROMAN RAINBOW: Pope Francis Becomes Gay Affirming Telling Parent Group Of LGBTQ+ Children That “God Loves Them Just As They Are’

Pope Francis told a group of parents of LGBTQ+ children yesterday that “God loves your children as they are” and “the church loves your children as they are because they are children of God.”

So here in 2020, Pope Francis has finally said what every one had been accusing him of, and that is the fact that he is single-handedly moving the Roman Catholic Church to becoming gay affirming. Just yesterday, he met with a group representing parents of LGBTQ+ children, and told them repeatedly that their children are fully welcome in the Catholic Church, and not only that, that God loves them ‘just the way they are’ and they don’t need to change their lifestyle. That is a blatant lie, God in the bible says no such thing. In fact, the apostle Paul says that only people who have become born again are the children of God.

“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:26 (KJB)

But honestly, would you expect anything different from the man who in 2019 set the wheels in motion with the Declaration Of Human Fraternity and officially kicked-off the One World Religion of Chrislam? We have been telling you for nearly ten years now that the Roman Catholic Church will absolutely pull in the LGBTQ+ as a main pillar of their global religion of Antichrist. Something tells me the Vatican has a ‘big announcement‘ in the works.

2018 FLASHBACK: POPE FRANCIS INSTRUCTS THE VATICAN TO MAKE UNPRECEDENTED MOVE TO PULL LGBTQ INTO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

Pope Francis to parents of LGBTQ+ children: ‘God loves your children as they are.’

FROM AMERICA MAGAZINE: Pope Francis told a group of parents of LGBTQ+ children yesterday that “God loves your children as they are” and “the church loves your children as they are because they are children of God.” He did so in a brief encounter with some 40 Italian parents (both mothers and fathers) of LGBTQ+ children after the public audience in the Renaissance courtyard of San Damaso in the Vatican.

The parents are members of an Italian association, Tenda di Gionata (“Jonathan’s Tent”), which welcomes and provides information and formation to LGBTQ+. Christians, their families and pastoral workers. The association was founded in 2018 by people inspired by a Catholic priest, the late Rev. David Esposito from the Diocese of Fermo in the Marches region of Italy.

Mara Grassi, the vice president of the association, together with her husband Agostino Usai—both wearing masks—presented the pope with a booklet titled “Genitori Fortunati” (“Fortunate Parents”) that documented the experiences of these parents with the church, experiences that were at times far from easy, and their requests for acceptance despite all too often being considered “undesirable” by church communities. (An English-language version will soon be published)

Mara Grassi told Pope Francis, “We wish to create a bridge to the church so that the church too can change its way of looking at our children, no longer excluding them but fully welcoming them.”

Speaking afterward to Avvenire, the daily paper of the Italian Bishops’ Conference, Ms. Grassi said she told the pope that “our association aims to foster dialogue between the church and the families of L.G.B.T. [people].” Taking her cue from the booklet’s title, she confided to him, “We consider ourselves fortunate because we had to change the way that we had always looked at our children. We found a new way of looking that enabled us to see in them the beauty and love of God.”

According to her account of the conversation, she told Francis, “We wish to create a bridge to the church so that the church too can change its way of looking at our children, no longer excluding them but fully welcoming them.”

Having listened carefully to what she said, Pope Francis reassured her, “The church does not exclude them because she loves them deeply.” As he bade them farewell, the association gave the pope a rainbow-colored T-shirt with the words “In love there is no fear” emblazoned on it.

Speaking to La Repubblica, the Italian daily, after the audience, Ms. Grassi, a Catholic mother of four children—the eldest of whom is a gay person, now aged 40—said she experienced “very strong emotions” in her encounter with Pope Francis. She revealed that “for many years I was like a blind person. After I came to know that my son was homosexual, I suffered a lot because the rules of the church made me think that he was excluded from the love of God. Nobody helped me.”

Things changed, she said, when she attended a vigil against homophobia at the church of Regina Pacis in Reggio Emilia, a city in northern Italy. There she met other parents, believers like herself, who have children that are gay, and through these parents she met the Rev. Paolo Cugini, who helped her understand that “faith and homosexuality are not in opposition, and that God loves my son as he is.” She told the pope that she is the mother of a son who is gay and “who left the church because he did not feel accepted in his diversity.” She explained how, thanks to her son, she changed her way of seeing things and like other persons in the same situation, after being “destabilized at first” on learning of her son’s homosexuality, she has come to see that “we are fortunate parents.”

She said the pope, in response, assured her and the other parents present that “God loves our children because they are all children of God.” And when she requested that the church, too, should change its ways so that no one feels excluded, Francis reassured them saying, “The church loves our children as they are.” READ MORE

We Gave A Bible To Maria At Glory Fellowship Church, And She Used It To Read It To Her Lost Dad Every Day For Two Weeks, He Got Saved And Given His Own Bible

From A Life Of Theft Since Age 12 To New Life In Jesus Christ, Jared Was Saved After Hearing The Bible Read To Him By His Own Child, Maria from Glory Fellowship Church in Kenya

A few months ago, we launched Operation Africa! in Kisii, Kenya, putting over 1,000 Bibles into the hands of Pastor Dancan and the Glory Fellowship Church and Orphanage. Since that time, the church has seen a wonderful influx of new people, many of whom became members, and an increase in the number of children taken care of by the orphanage. Maria has been attending the church for the past two years. She was given a Bible by us, and she faithfully began reading it to her father, Jared, who got saved! Here now is his amazing salvation story.

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17 (KJB)

Pastor Dancan writes: “Today during our church service, a young man came forward to share a wonderful testimony. He told us that he gave his life to Jesus because his child, who has been attending our church, has been reading the Bible to him every day for the past two weeks. He shared that he had been a thief since the age of 12, but through hearing God’s Word from his own child, his heart was transformed. Today, he made the decision to follow Jesus Christ. Pastor, the Bibles you generously gifted to us are changing lives and touching many souls. As we welcomed him into our church family, we presented him with a Bible of his own so that he can continue to grow in his faith. Thank you for your generosity and for partnering with us in spreading the Gospel. May God continue to bless you abundantly.” Praise the Lord, what a blessing! For them, and for us.

Christian, this is what missions are all about. The sending out of God’s word to the ends of the Earth, the raising up people to plant and minister the gospel to the lost wherever they may be found, and the reaping of the soul harvest. Operation Africa! gave 13-year old Maria her first Bible, she took that gift and began to minister to her father, he got saved and was then presented with one of the Bibles we provided. This is why we work, this is why we labour, this is why we send out free Bibles as far and wide as the Lord will enable us to do. Your prayer and generous financial support makes all of it possible. Come help us to stay in the fight, we need you!!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to everyone who needs one. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Trump Discernment Syndrome Is The Moment You Stop Cheering The Show & Start Seeing The Strings, The Script, And The Scam

Trump Discernment Syndrome Is Not Derangement, It Is The Moment The MAGA Spell Breaks And You See The ‘America First’ Scam For What It Really Is

For years, the political elites and their cheering section have mocked truth-tellers with the phrase “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” as if anyone who questions Donald Trump must be irrational, bitter, or blinded by hatred. But the exact opposite is true. What we are watching is Trump Discernment Syndrome — the moment when people finally wake up and see through the carefully manufactured image, the endless branding, the fake strength, the hollow promises, and the nonstop social media memitic manipulation. It is the ability to look past the slogans, the staged patriotism, and the cult of personality and recognize the scam for what it is. That’s not derangement, that’s discernment, and you need to have it in these last days.

“Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?“ Luke 12:56 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the real delusion belongs to the hypnotized MAGA crowd that has been trained to call compromise courage, propaganda truth, and blind loyalty righteousness. They excuse the contradictions, ignore the wreckage, and defend the deception because they have emotionally invested themselves in the illusion. But spiritual discernment breaks the spell. Discernment sees the cracked mask, reads the fruit, and refuses to bow before the 22-foot high golden idol. In an age where millions have traded critical thinking for political worship, Trump Discernment Syndrome is what happens when your eyes are opened and you see what’s actually in front of you. That is the core of Trump Discernment Syndrome: seeing that the same thing Trump condemned in Obama becomes “genius” when Trump does it. If Obama unfreezing Iranian assets was appeasement, then Trump unfreezing Iranian assets is appeasement. If Obama giving Iran economic breathing room was dangerous, then Trump giving Iran economic breathing room is dangerous. If Obama allowing the regime to survive was weakness, then Trump preserving the regime while calling it peace is also weakness. If Biden and his children profitting from his elected office was wrong, then Trump and his children profitting from his elected office has to be wrong. It must be wrong! Today we show you 12 examples of Trump Derangement Syndrome and watch what happens when we apply with glorious light of Truth to see what’s really going on. The real Trump Derangement Syndrome is people who willing volunteer to believe a lie, worship a man, and today we break that spell and cast out the devils of deception. “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” All this and much more on today’s Prophecy News Podcast!
